Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix possible race in destroy_and_reserve_irq()
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 02:56:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1185764190.3940.58.camel@kane-linux> (raw)

Currently, destroy_and_reserve_irq() sets irq_status[irq] UNUSED using
clear_irq_vector() and sets irq_status[irq] RSVD using reserve_irq().
But there is a race window because vector_lock is once released between
them. This patch fixes this race window.
